New Zealand in Australia 2008

[MohammedC]

First Test @ Brisbane Cricket Ground.

Tim Southee got the Australian in a spot of bother. Australia 39/3, Southee picked all three wickets.

I've always said that Tim Southee is a better bowler than Ishant Sharma, at the moment australia may be on 47 alot of those runs have been pretty streaky

[Tigers_eye]

Clarke needs to go. Common NZ.

Too much arrogance of Ponting...and arrogance does not last long .

BD needs to play regularly with Oz now.

[nzfan]

Typical New Zealand, we cant finish off the last partnership

[Murad]

Finally NZ got the last man.

Fine innings from Clarke.

Good show by the Youngster.
I am not sure who is better but it sure is a compliment for young Ishanth that he is being used as a benchmark.

Ishant shows the promise (its tough to get a Man Of the Series in India as a fast bowler) but he has a long way to go before he can be considered the best for India leave alone Sub continent or the World.

On present form (in my book) I would see him competing with Gul,Asif,(maybe) Zaheer,Lee,Styen,Bond (I miss that Guy) and Sidebottom.

I will wait on Southee , I havent watched him

Wow, Daniel Vettori is a human being after all. I could have sworn that he was Superman, atleast until 3/4 weeks back. A single wicket and TWO whole runs.

NZ does have a very young and inexperienced side. Not sure if the Aussies can take much credit from this match.

[Murad]

Good contest going on in this match.

But I guess Aus will be the winner in the end.

[cricman]

Ricky Ponting has found the Ashraful Disease

[Tehsin]

Australia is in serious slump right now. To think, they had an A team that could have beaten most of the other top ranked side only couple years back.

[cricman]

I think Symonds will save them, Shane Warne Comeback for Ashes 09 looks pretty good right now

[Sovik]

australia will win this match anyway.

[MohammedC]

New Zealand need another 267 run to win but they only have 6 wickets left.

[cricman]

50 for Taylor, ponting biting his nails this is gonna get good

[Sovik]

if only vettori can do what he did against us. 184 needed with 4 wickets in hand

[One World]

Two bad decisions against NZ, or Aussies just had it.

2nd test is in Adelaide, but I'm not going to see an days. I'm waiting for the upcoming South Africa series.
